State-sanctioned gun violence is still gun violence.
We remember Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mom and community member who was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on January 7.

📣 Bills continue to be filed at the Indiana Statehouse.
Here are some of the bills we’re watching closely.
As these bills move forward, it’s critical that lawmakers hear from Hoosiers who care about public health and safety, gun violence prevention, and community well-being.

Have this conversation with your kids—often.
If you ever see a gun:
🛑 STOP
❌ Don’t touch
🚶♀️ Leave the area
🗣 Tell an adult immediately
Teaching kids what to do can prevent injuries and save lives.

Young children are more capable than we think.
Toddlers can:
✔ Find unsecured firearms
✔ Pull the trigger
Secure storage saves lives—especially in homes with children or where children visit.
Secure firearms. Secure futures.

🏠 Visiting family or friends over the holidays?
Before kids start playing, ask a simple but important question:
👉 Are firearms in the home stored securely?
Secure storage—locked, unloaded, and separate from ammunition—helps prevent tragedies and keeps everyone safe.

This is completely disgusting. Today, the CDC updated their vaccine safety page. It now says:
“The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”.

DOJ’s proposal of allowing applicants to pay $20 and then providing a 6-minute review of each case is not “due diligence.” There must be a responsible relief process.
